This week was super quiet on the wrestling side of the Tracker, nothing new that was really worth mentioning as far as the Top 5 goes from WWE or AEW. So for this week, we’ve got a straight UFC Top 5.
Shameless plug and small reminder: the official Ultimate 1/1 Tracker app is now available for download for free in the Android Store. If you would like to download it, you can find it here:
Spot #5
Starting off at #5, we’ve got the legendary Anderson Silva’s Legacy Premium Gold Vinyl 1/1 from 2023 Chronicles UFC. Though long retired, The Spider’s fresh 1/1’s still seem to fetch a pretty penny when they surface. Maybe it’s because he’s got the record for longest title reign in UFC history, who knows?
Spot #4
At #4, we’re gonna go with Alexander Volkanovski’s Champion Signatures White Sparkle 1/1 Auto from 2023 Prizm UFC. For what it’s worth, it’s actually centered quite well… anyone who saw a lot of 2023 Prizm 1/1s knows that a decent portion of them had centering that was… not the most desirable.
Spot #3
And starting with the podium positions, at #3, we’ve got the Conor McGregor Black Mezzanine 1/1 from 2023 Select UFC. Conor McGregor on arguably the most visually pleasing base parallel design from Select this year? No brainer in the Top 5.
Spot #2
Now we’ve reached a speedbump.
For anyone who caught last weeks countdown, I did say that I wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Rosas and/or Maddalena in the top podium spots again, and alas, here we are…
Coming in at the silver metal position, we have Raul Rosas’ Contenders Optic Rookie Ticket Auto Gold Vinyl 1/1 from 2023 Chronicles UFC.
Spot #1
And sitting atop the podium for the week and taking this week’s gold medal, we have Jack Della Maddalena’s Contenders Optic Rookie Ticket Auto Gold Vinyl 1/1.
Here’s the thing… I feel both Rosas and Maddalena both deserve gold medals this week. They’re both Optic Rookie Tickets, they’re both big rookie autos, and they’re both gold vinyls.
Depending on who you ask, some people may say Rosas takes the gold, others may say Maddalena takes it… so I think we’re going to end with a DRAW. That’s right. 5 rounds, no definite winner.
Where’s Bruce to announce the controversial decision and upset the entire UFC fan base? Just kidding. I think we can all be happy if they both get gold stars.
I’ll be back next week for more shenanigans, and hopefully we have a more rounded mix. Don’t forget the Tracker mobile app is now available for Android, and if you pull any WWE, UFC, or AEW 1/1s or see any in the wild, be sure to get them to the Tracker!
